Chylothorax is a condition that is debilitating to the point of threatening life. There is controversy over its management, in particular the relative merits of conservative measures and the timing of surgical intervention.The literature is reviewed from the basic sciences of chyle composition and flow, to diagnostic approaches, the complications of ...

Nontraumatic Chylothorax: Nonenhanced MR Lymphography.
Radiographics, 2020Chylothorax is a rare cause of pleural effusion, secondary to accumulation of lymph in the pleural space. Diagnosis is based on the triglyceride and cholesterol content of pleural fluid obtained with thoracentesis.

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1994
The management of chylothorax requires a thorough understanding of the anatomy and pathophysiology of the major thoracic lymphatics, prompt diagnosis, and (with rare exception) conservative management, including evacuation of the pleural space, nutritional support, and measures to reduce chyle production.

Chylothorax is a rare complication of pulmonary resection. It requires prompt treatment, which is initially conservative. This treatment consists of drainage, nutritional support, and measures to diminish chyle flow. Surgical intervention is indicated when conservative management is ineffective.

Chylothorax or chylous pleural effusion occurs when chyle accumulates in the pleural space usually secondary to disruption of thoracic lymphatics. Chyle is a milky, white, opalescent fluid that is formed when long-chain triglycerides in the diet are transformed into chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins, which are then secreted into intestinal
